New Genetic Map Expands Understanding of Skeletal Disease X ray of knees. [Garvan Institute of Medical Research] May 7, 2021 Share Bone mainly contains three types of cells: osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. The osteocytes are the most abundant cells comprising 95% of the total cell population in bone with an average half-life of 25 years. Osteocytes can also be responsible for not only bone diseases and disorders, but also those of the kidney, heart, and potentially muscle. Now resear...

The study published today in Nature Communications outlines the genes that are switched on or off in osteocytes, a type of bone cell that controls how other types of cells make or break down parts of the skeleton to maintain strong and healthy bones.

Researchers have mapped the gene activity of osteocytes to improve their understanding of skeletal disease. Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton’s ‘master regulator’ cells, known as osteocytes. The study published today in Nature Communications outlines the genes that are switched on or off in osteocytes, a type of bone cell that controls how other types of cells make or break down parts of the sk...

New Bone Cell Type Identified, Could Point to Drug Targets for Osteoporosis and Other Skeletal Diseases February 26, 2021 Source: Photo by Mathew Schwartz on Unsplash Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered a new type of bone cell that may yield novel therapeutic targets and strategies for osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases. The cells, which the researchers have called osteomorphs, are found in the blood and bone marrow, and fuse together to form osteoclast...

New type of bone cell – called an osteomorph – may help develop new therapeutic approaches to relieve osteoporosis and other bone diseases.
